Ghanaian‑German gospel minister and pastor, Daniel Jeddman has found himself at the center of controversy after leaving a comment on a TikTok video posted by Nana Agradaa’s daughter. In the clip, the child sings while dressed in church attire—an image that many interpreted as the next generation of spiritual influence. Jeddman’s comment, intended to sympathize with Ghanaians by urging mercy on Agradaa, triggered backlash. Critics accused him of taking sides in a highly publicized feud involving defamation and legal battles.
Agradaa, also known as Evangelist Mama Pat, has been embroiled in a prolonged conflict with gospel artist Empress Gifty, who filed a GH₵20 million defamation suit against her for allegedly making false claims about her personal life and her late mother Agnes Aba Annan (“Agaga”) . The conflict escalated after Agradaa drew in Empress Gifty’s deceased mother by asserting that calling on “Agaga” calls her own spirit.
In this highly charged context, Jeddman’s mild encouragement to “have mercy” on Agradaa sparked criticism from Ghanaians who feel he underestimated the gravity of her alleged defamation and legal issues. Many on social media questioned why an outside gospel minister would comment on such a polarizing local dispute—especially one involving accusations of slander, court orders, and a public ultimatum from Empress Gifty’s legal team.
Supporters of Jeddman argue that his comment was not an endorsement, but a call for compassion. Detractors see it as misplaced interference that downplays the hurt felt by those defamed. Observers note the sensitivities around children becoming symbols in adult controversies; Agradaa’s daughter’s TikTok has now been politicized in the online war.
As the legal battle continues—with courts already dismissing parts of Agradaa’s defense and ordering costs in favor of Empress Gifty —Jeddman’s involvement highlights the risks public figures face when engaging in volatile online debates. The broader conversation underscores the need for discretion when interweaving spiritual commentary with personal reputational disputes.
